This morning (Friday, 10 December) the Young Communists of Pistoia have rallied alongside the students took to the streets to express their dissent against the policies implemented by the government right, affecting the public schools open their doors to the privatization of the University and condemn future generations to of insecurity, not knowing and jobless.
Even today, as has become familiar to all students who have learned about the events of recent months, we have our organization made available to students, as happened during the days of self-management and mobilization of last week, helping to ensure a good participation from the entire province, and recalling that "we want to know, security and future," com ' was written on our banner.
We have always chosen to give a decisive contribution to growth and maintenance of the student movement without wanting to put out our flags and our party membership, without putting any "hat" to the actions of students, without wishing to exploit it, as well as someone it did, the movement to bring grist to the mill of our organization.
We made this choice because what interests us, when we are in the streets and parades, is sponsoring the Young Communist League, but gain strength so that the contents of this student movement has been able to bring to the attention the city. "School ... but not provincial woman brothel", "Public funding to public school," "No to militarization, yes to public school ," Gelmini in mining, foundry Tremonti, this is our democracy, "" Even the worker wants the child doctor, "" Dear Santa, I would like to go to university this year although I'm not Daddy's boy. " These were the banners carried by students from different schools. These are the slogans and policy proposals that hundreds of students Pistoia struggling for weeks they are doing and that we share.
why we are committed to supporting the student movement and working again so that it can grow and reach their goals. Therefore, as the Communist Youth of Pistoia, will leave Tuesday morning (December 14) to Rome, with buses organized by our organization (bookings 338 2167511 or gcpistoia@live.it, cost a / r 15 €) to bring in the capital, the day of the expected vote of no confidence in the government and Berlusconi's right-wing, anti emerged from the square this morning and 30 last November, demanding the withdrawal of the Bill Gelmini on the University, a halt to the privatization of knowledge, greater investment in public education and research , the withdrawal of troops in Afghanistan to invest public funds in the war but not in the training world.
Therefore, after a busy day of action, we feel the need to share some thoughts with all the boys and girls in the past few months we have built a movement student in our city. During the event have appeared in this morning with two banners reading "Youth to Power" and "beautiful, free and rebels." would be enough to worry about that presence, remember that these slogans are characteristic, for years, the Italian neo-fascist right. It should be superfluous to recall that the fascists can not certainly have the right to take to the streets to demonstrate, aware that anti-fascism is not a unique value of the left or the Communists , but the stone foundation on which democratic life of our country; because anti-fascists are all Italians, all who live in this country proud of their Constitution and the freedom gained. Why fascists are those who can not tolerate the existence of the Constitution and a "democratic republic founded on work." And because, as explained Karl Popper, philosopher, far from the liberal left and communism, "unless we are prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. why we should proclaim the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant ".
Even more, we want to emphasize that the presence of certain elements (and, for clarity, we refer to a small group and certainly not to all those who marched, even unconsciously, behind those banners) constitutes a danger to the student movement itself . "Youth in power" are words bombastic, charming, but absolutely no content, are the prelude of the transformation of a conscious movement in a movement led by some populist copings, ready to fight against everything and everyone to demand that all change that does not change anything. "Youth to Power" is a first step towards destruction of a movement that was capable of forming relationships with other persons affected by the destruction public school (teachers, workers in the world of training, the workers of the companies forced to close because they can not renew itself without the support of research ...). "Divide and conquer" is the preferred weapon of the bosses and those who want to destroy the public school , the unit built on the content and idea to another company, however, is the only weapon that remains in the hands students and those hit by the crisis.
The presence of certain individuals in the parade today, however, upon the departure of Piazza Mazzini did not represent more than an element of provocation, tension and division among the students themselves, as evidenced by the repeated verbal skirmishes. A scenario that we know well, the same script, albeit with far more serious consequences, which our fellow Romans lived in Piazza Navona 29 October 2008, when the fascists Block Student ( Casapound the youth who, not surprisingly , then anywhere close agreements to support the electoral lists of the PDL , the main promoter of the Gelmini reforms that destroyed the school) ended the morning with a charge of provocations triggered by a group of thirtysomethings against the high school students aged 16-17 the streets to challenge the approval of the first cuts to school, contained in Bill 133. It worries us in real life Pistoia, these banners have been indicted prepared under the auspices of Youth Action - Young Italy, a movement of young people of the PDL able to take to the streets against the Reformation and an alleged claim of independence from the "system" at the same time when that organization works daily to the success of the projects of the Right of the People of Freedom and in particular, the party most responsible for approving a bill Gelmini.
Unity is a precious resource, essential for the maintenance and the victory of this movement. For this we appeal to all students with whom we shared the struggles of these weeks to commit themselves to preserve it, keeping a safe distance only those who would divide, lead and facilitate the task of those who are destroying our schools and our future.
"If young people organize themselves, take control of every branch of knowledge and struggle with the workers and the oppressed, there is no escape for an old order based on privilege and injustice "
